Brosnan piles on the movie projects

Irish actor, Pierce Brosnan, is expected to star in a number of movies in 2010.

It’s been more than 15 years since the big screen got its first introduction to Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan.

The Irish-born actor is best known for his portrayal of British secret agent James Bond throughout the 90's.

But he's been keeping busy since donning his dapper tuxedo and spy gear. The County Meath native has done everything from dodge volcanic lava in "Dante's Peak" to singing show tunes in "Mamma Mia!" and 2010 looks like it's going to be another big year for the Irish star.

According to reports, Brosnan is attached to four upcoming move projects, all set to be released in 2010.

Brosnan will co-star with “Twilight” heartthrob Robert Pattinson in the movie “Remember Me," which is scheduled to begin filming in New York later this month. Brosnan will also be starring in three other dramas: “Vanilla Gorilla," “The Ghost” and “The Big Biazarro," based on the Leonard Wise novel.

Rumors have been circulating about Brosnan reprising his role as master thief Thomas Crown for “The Thomas Crown Affair 2." The sequel will be a follow-up to the 1999 blockbuster hit movie.

The Irish superstar has always been selective about his roles, usually only appearing in one or two films a year.

Though his last big role in 2008's “Mamma Mia!” earned him a Golden Raspberry or “Razzie” award for Worst Supporting Male Actor, Brosnan gained back favor with critics when his most recent film, “The Greatest,” was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.

Though we love seeing him show his acting chops in comedies and musicals, fans are looking forward to Brosnan’s return to hard-hitting dramas and action-adventures.
